That is because TIOCMGET was broken. Yes...this is known for some time
and no, we (Bruce and me) never posted it. Why? Simply because we choose
to post fixes when we fixed most of the bugs.
Anyway..now that the slip problems are coming, here is a fix for
correct TIOCMGET behaviour.
-Guido
Note: this should be tested first (Rich?). Tested by rgrimes
1) fixed 3c503 lock-up if the thinwire cable was disconnected at boot time
2) 8013EBT boards now work (quite well!) in 16bit/16k mode
3) ED_NO_DOUBLE_BUFFERING flag now works
4) slightly higer performance (about 3%) with 16bit WD/SMC boards
5) support for WD8013WC (10BaseT) boards
Additionally, the probe code has been reorganized to be much cleaner. This
revision of the driver is 1.25. The release notes have been updated as well.
going to panic shortly after this anyway. Destroys less state, and
keeps the machine from waiting for someone to smash the return key
a few times before it panics!

4. Move printf("\n"); at line 491 in "/sys/i386/isa/sio.c" to after
COM_MULTIPORT block at line 512.
From rgrimes:
The above would cause the word (multiport) with out a new line to
appear after the uart type message if you had COM_MULTIPORT enabled.
Added support of DONET({IMP,NS,ISO}) so you can now compile with options
NS and ISO, still missing some IMP code, but since the imp is old and
gone I doubt this will ever be used.
Subject: More information on "netstat -r

Gentlemen,
I have been trying for some time now to get "netstat -r"
working from the 0.2.2 patchkit. I have the following solution to the
bug.
The symbol _radix_node_head needs to be added to the symbols.raw file
to enable the new routing table access. If this symbol is not present
then the old system us used which results in no routes being given. I
don't think that this justifies a patch in its own right but perhaps
could be added to a related patch sometime..

This fixes several problems.
It has almost everything that is in the FreeBSD version of Aug 22.
It is missing the bug for 2 drives and still prints <> around the
drive type. It handles BADEND144 less verbosely. It does wdgetctlr()
somewhat differently from NetBSD/FreeBSD.

Fixed printf's to be correct, since Bruce used the old ones. This driver
still prints phantom wd1's on some Maxtor and other IDE drives, I have
a patch I am sending to Bruce for checking.
wd80x3 class boards can be configured to the GENERIC kernels.
Entry was:
device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 9 iomem 0xd0000 vector edintr
Is now:
device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr
FP and we try to call the emulator when it is not compiled in.
Removed the #if defined(i486) || defined(i387) that use to call the
panic if we did not have a math emulator.
Removed an extranious include of i386/i386/math_emu.h from math_emulate.c.
you'll get to the dump code. If you don't trust this on your disk also
add option NOT_TRUSTED, that disables the dump code, but prints out what
it WOULD do it it was going to scrible on your disk.
reinitialized between while loops. Added comments about what was going
on in the out_fdc routine.
out_fdc now returns if the direction bit is not set in time instead of
trying to wait for MRQ to get cleared.
